Kelly sees further cost slashesas key factor in Shuttle decision

turing on the Space Shuttle Program atManned Spacecraft Center. The groupreceived a very thorough exposure toGrumman’s internal systems and procedures, product control, inspection,shop scheduling, and many other areas.

The arrangements committee took theguests on “show and tell” visits to theshop, warehouse, and inspection areasand showed them how the systems andprocedures work in practice. “They wentaway quite satisfied and thanked theCompany for all the details,” OzzieWilliams, one of the members of thearrangements committee, reported.

The same week, .a NASA team droppedby for an overview of Grumman avionicsin military aircraft. Howard Wright andVice President Alex Alexandrovich welcomed them and presented a tight schedule of talks and visits to study theavionics systems of the E-2C and F-14and commercial aircraft. They, too, aremotivated by cost considerations. “Economy” is the word in every aspect ofthe Space Shuttle Program.

New alkaline tankshelp fight pollution

Sitting in Plant 3 are two big tanks,each measuring 27 feet long, nine feetwide, and 14 feet deep—two 24,000-gallon tanks. Big, yes, but the story is notso much the size of the tanks but what’sin one of them: a biodegradable, non-phosphate, non-etch alkaline cleaner.

Not very sexy, you may say. True.But that cleaner is not only saving theCompany some $15,000 a year, it’s alsowiping out a pollution problem. This isthe story:

Aluminum alloy sheets, just as theycome from a mill or warehouse, aren’tclean. Usually they’re fouled by oils orstencil markings. So they’re arranged onracks and dunked in the heated tankthat has the cleaner. After 15 or 20minutes, they’re moved into the secondtank for cold water rinse for about 10minutes.

After that, they’re air-dried and sentto the heat treat facility, then refrigerated and later stretch-formed.

At that point, the material is againdunked in the cleaner to remove thelubricants, and rinsed.

It’s a clean, cost-saving way of doingthings. “It’s an easier job, too,” saysBill Pagels, group leader in ChemicalEngineering, Materials and Process. “Itused to be that when the bath got depleted (polluted) we had to get trucksto carry it away—at about $6,000 a year.Now, since the bath is not polluted, wecan drain it off without endangering thesoil and environment.”

New GDS postDave Holtje has been named director,

Accounts Management, responsible for“the establishment and maintenance ofan effective interface” between Grumman Data Systems operations and GDScustomers. He will serve as GrummanAerospace account manager and willmanage the Operations Business Officeof the Data Systems Center.

Er N‘ I • Fiessings e yours

Grumman Field Service does more than attend to the military needs ofan area, as witness a letter to President Bill Zarkowsky from Mrs. JudithSnipes of the China Beach Orphanage in DaNang, Vietnam.

When Marine Air Group 11 folded its tent and withdrew from the conflict, there were some supplies—two Volkswagen buses, two Honda motorcyles, a refrigerator, bedding, etc.—that were left behind by Grumman fieldreps and put in the custody of Chaplain R. D. Coapman. One of the buseswent to the orphanage. Wrote Mrs. Snipes:

“On behalf of all the children and staff . . . I want to thank you verymuch for the Volkswagen bus that was recently presented to us through yourfield service representative, Henry A. Smith.

“With 340 children, you can well imagine that the bus will be put to gooduse for trips to the hospital, barber, to school, town, and numerous otherplaces.

“Again, thank you for your kindness. May God’s blessings be yours inabundance.”

New show on tapStarting October 6, visitors to the Hayden Planetarium of the American

Museum of Natural History will be seeing something new—a visual presentation entitled “One Giant Step”—which concerns the history of rocketry andwhat the future might look like in space activity.

Last week, Dave Kaestel of the planetarium staff was at Bethpage tophotograph various activities concerning space and to add to an alreadyburgeoning collection of photographs, art, and illustrations that will form thebasis of the 44-minute audio-visual presentation. Kaestel says the presentation will include about 3000 slides. And 44 projectors and 22 differentscreens will provide a panoramic effect.

“One Giant Step,” which is funded by the Guggenheim Foundation, willfocus on these six areas: solar systems; mapping of the earth; phases andeclipses of the moon; giant “eye”; “mind’ eye”; and rocketry.

It promises to be an interesting and visually exciting show—why notput it on your “must see” list for the fall.

To drill, or not to drill?The question is a stormy one:Should off-shore drilling for oil and gas be permitted off the coasts of

Long Island, New Jersey, and southern New England?There will be a closed conference on the subject at the N. Y. Ocean

Science Laboratory at Montauk September 13, where conservationists andrepresentatives of the petroleum industry will appear.

Selected spokesmen from both sides will meet in open discussion two dayslater, September 15, at Grumman’s Plant 35, sponsored by the EnvironmentalTechnology Seminar. The reports and discussion of the Montauk meeting willstart at 5:30 p.m., a half hour after the membership meeting.

One-way ticketYou might help your boss to win a deserved award.It’s a really great idea. According to a September issue of The Wall

Street Journal, there’s an annual event held in Crisfield, Md., called the National Hard Crab Derby and Fair. The highlight of the affair is the winningof “the coveted title: World’s Crabbiest Boss.”

In a perhaps apocryphal letter by “Your Humble Servant, Jim Hyatt” ofthe Journal, addressed to his boss—who didn’t win the “coveted title”—hemoans, “So, boss, I guess you won’t be among the 10,000 to 15,000 visitorshere for the derby.” And he puts in the kicker:

“But, knowing you, I’m sure you’ll redouble your efforts to win nextyear.”

The Space Shuttle Program continuesunabated as the design study extensioncontract from NASA moves towardcompletion November 1. After a latestart, Grumman/Boeing are now on anequal footing with the winners of thePhase B study, North American Rockwell and McDonnell Douglas.

“The extension prompted us to goback and look at quite a variety of programs in order to reduce the peak annual funding,” Vice President TomKelly, deputy director of the SpaceShuttle Program, said last week. “Werecently gave NASA a mid-term briefing in order to help it formulate its FY‘73 budget request. It’s the yearly process of generating the Federal budget,”Kelly added. “I think the presentationwent pretty well.”

The date when Request for Proposalon the Shuttle will be issued now appears scheduled for December, and thego-ahead on design for June. “We’reworking now on several different designapproaches, again in an effort to reducefurther the cost of the Program. ByNovember we should be back to one design and a single program plan that willmeet NASA’s more stringent cost limitations,” Keily said.

“We are working very closely withBoeing, and fairly large numbers oftheir personnel have been here lately,”he continued. “There is an importantcost advantage in a reusable version ofthe Boeing S-iC (first stage of theSaturn V), because we can make use ofthe existing technology and the hardware.”

Funds for the Shuttle Program havebeen approved by Congress, by whatKelly called “a pretty overwhelmingvote.”

2 GRUMMAN, September 13, 1971

With Bill Miller in the front seatand Don Evans in the back seat, Tomcat1-X made its first flight Tuesday, August 31. The F-14 flew for 1.6 hours.

The next day it flew for an hour anda half with wing-sweep of 45 degrees,and on Thursday it flew for two hourswith maximum sweep of 68 degrees.

Both test pilots reported that theplane performed very well.

On the morning of September 3, Tomcat 2, the stall aircraft, made its firstflight since installation of the stallparachute and the EPU (EmergencyPower Unit). The 1.6-hour flight, withChief Test Pilot Chuck Sewell up frontand Bob Smyth in the rear, was a functional check flight. It yielded limitedflight test information because of poorweather conditions. In fact, the poorVisibility grew worse later in the dayand knocked out plans for an afternoonflight of 1-X.

While Tomcats 1-X and 2 were inflight status (No. 2 in its 19th flight September 3), Tomcat 4 was in build-up forflight later this month and two statictest articles were being tested in thenorth hangar of Plant 5.

“It’s the first time that anyone hasbuilt two static test articles,” says DonKaley, assistant Project Engineer, Testand Operations. “The reason is that wehave to complete the tests in half thetime normally required—even thoughthis is a very complex aircraft.” He andJerry McFarland, group leader in Structural Test, spoke of what’s been accomplished and the test road that lies ahead:

The basic requirement, they say, is totest to 100 percent of Tomcat design.

“We made it,” says McFarland. “We

successfully completed maximum bending conditions for the wing outer panel,wing center section, and mid-fuselage—but, while holding the load, the centerbox failed. It simply broke. The load atwhich it failed was 50 percent higherthan that expected in actual flight, andtherefore constitutes success.”

“A new center box has been installed,” says Kaley, “so we can finish ourtesting. All testing for high-speed release has been accomplished except forthe speed brake and the drop tank,which will be completed by October 15.”

The main point is, say Kaley and McFarland, there will not be any delay inthe static test program, or in the flightiest program.

In addition to the Plant 5 effort, wingcenter-section fatigue tests began September 3. That job is to duplicate allload conditions the aircraft could seein two lifetimes—that is, the equivalentof 12,000 flight hours. These 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week tests are to becompleted by early November.

Early last month, an air crew fromCarrier Airborne Early Warning Wing12 flew a Grumman E-2B Hawkeye fromNorfolk, Virginia, to t h e carrierAmerica in the Mediterranean. The 5,-075 mile flight involved four stopoversat St. John’s, Newfoundland; Lajes,Azores; Rota, Spain; and Naples, Italy.It was the first time that a Fleet Hawk-eye had ever been flown trans-Atlanticfor delivery to an operational attackcarrier.

The journey really began at the NavalAir Station in San Diego. It was therethat the Hawkeye had been convertedfrom an E-2A to an E-2B model by installing more advanced electronic equipment, including a new general purposecomputer. When its modification wascompleted at the Naval Air ReworkFacility at North Island, the E-2B wasflown to Norfolk to prepare it for itstransocean crossing.

Cdr. Floyd Friesen, skipper of Carrier

Airborne Early Warning Squadron 126,piloted the Hawkeye, and was accompanied on the flight by Lt. Bill Broad-hurst, AT1 Charles Glass, AE2 DarrellMcCray, all of VAW-126, and Lt. Cdr.Bob Duvall, staff to the commander ofCAEWW 12.

Ready to goDeparting Norfolk on the morning of

August 13, the Hawkeye arrived at St.John’s, a distance of 1,280 miles, fivehours later. Other legs of the journeywere: St. John’s - Lajes, 1,240 miles, 4.7hours; Lajes - Rota, 980 miles, 3.7 hours;Rota - Naples, 1,050 miles, 3.8 hours;Naples - USS America, 525 miles, 2.3hours.

And now comes what is consideredthe most significant aspect of the entirejourney. Shortly after it landed aboardthe America on August 16, the Hawkeyewas refueled and ready for its firstoperational flight—with all systems up,and no “tweeking” or readjustment ofthe complex electronic gear necessaryfor the mission.

“But then, was that so unusual?”says Tom Guarino, E-2 director. “It hadbeen completely operational during theentire 5,000 mile journey.”

GRUMMANI September 13, 1971 3

Two men died recently while onCompany business: Dave Hauptman andSheldon Pinsley.

Dave Hauptman was killed in a planecrash near Patuxent River on August23. He and two Navy pilots were on aspecial test flight, checking equipmenton a C-2A.

Dave, an electronics technician, wason assignment from Flight Avionics,Plant 8, to Grumman Product SupportField Service. The co-pilot was Lt. Cdr.Sam Shiverdecker, known to many atthe Calverton Facility, where he hadbeen attached to the Naval Plant Representative Office 1966-68. The pilotwas Lt. Cdr. John E. McCauley. Theplane went down in Chesapeake Baythree miles south of the Naval Air TestCenter, Patuxent River.

Hauptman, who was 33, had beenwith Grumman since 1965. He lived at32 Portside Dr., Holbrook, L. I., withhis wife, Joyce, son Brian, 5, anddaughter Lone, 2.

Shelly Pinsley, deputy director ofAdvanced Aircraft Systems, died August 30 in Honolulu. He accidentally fellfrom a sixth-floor balcony of theSheraton-Waikiki Hotel, according topolice, and died about three hours later.

Start retraining 22 engineersTwenty-two men, selected for a program to retrain unemployed aerospace engi

neers to prepare them for jobs in environmental engineering, began their courselast Tuesday in the Training & Development Center, Plant 39. Organized by Grumman and Manhattan College, it is sponsored by New York State and funded by theFederal Government under the Manpower Development Training Act. If you hearsomething about PRAESEE, it’s the same thing: Program for Retraining AerospaceEngineers for Environmental Engineering.

The course will continue for 13 weeks and will be taught by Grumman specialists and outside consultants. “Over the next six months,” Jack Rettaliata, Vice President of Grumman Corporation, told them at their first session, “we are going to offer you some 620 hours in classroom instruction and laboratory work in environmental engineering, chemistry, hydrology, microbiology, instrumentation and dataprocessing, and water supply and treatment.” He did not promise them jobs but promised to make available the services of Grumman’s Personnel Department “to provide placement counseling and assistance in locating jobs.” He said letters fromconsulting firms and Federal, state, and local water quality offices in the metropolitan and Long Island areas alone “indicate about 120 job openings in 1971.”

Art Gilmore, director of Corporate Training & Development, noted that thestudents had been impartially selected for the course and thanked all in government and in private industry who had helped plan and expedite the five-monthprogram.

World’s oldest airline?“Is This Any Way to Run the World’s Oldest Airline?” is the title of

a brisk piece about six Grumman amphibians that fly, day in and day out,between Miami and Bimini. “Pappy” Chalk, 83 and the founder of the 50-year-old flying service, claims he predates KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

The story was told by Don Bedwell and John Dorschner in Tropic,Miami Herald Sunday magazine section, and illustrated with photos of theChalk line’s ageless planes, of which there are six: four Grumman Mallardsand two Grumman Gooses. The authors say that these are getting prettyscarce to buy and during the past two years, when Chalk’s had to expanda little, it “had to go halfway around the world to get four GrummanMallards at $150,000 apiece from Japan Air Lines.”

The distance between Miami and Bimini is 55 miles, and the flighttakes 30 minutes. “Since progress is its least important product, Chalk’shas no room for stewardesses, restrooms, cocktails or snacks,” the articlesays. Many of the passengers are wealthy jet setters. “The rich seem toenjoy our amphibians,” Dean Franklin, the operator, asserts. “They are sodifferent from what they’re used to.”

During Prohibition days, say the authors, Chalk found that he couldturn a profit without running rum. He served as a nonpartisan, if not anonparticipant, in the bootlegging war by carrying the good guys and badguys alike. “‘He started flying bootleggers out to Bimini,’” chuckles DeanFranklin, “‘then flying the revenuers out to look for the bootleggers.’”

4 GRUMMAN. September 13, 1971

A Grumman-Boeing team is at workon a proposal to design an ExperimentalSTOL Transport Research A i r c r a ft(ESTRA) for the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration, using a four-engine Gulfstream II in a high-wingconfiguration. STOL refers to shorttake-off and landing, meaning that theaircraft will be capable of operatingf r o m 2,000-foot runways (includingsafety margins). The plane will be designed to employ new propulsive-liftconcepts — externally blown flap andaugmentor wing. These design featuresprovide high lift and thereby permitlow landing speeds. Proposals for thedesign phase of this program, estimatedat $1 million, are due in mid-Octoberwith a contract award expected by January 1, 1972. The design phase winnerswill then prepare proposals for the follow-on fabrication phase for two experimental aircraft.

Two other studiesGrumman has b e e n investigating

STOL transport aircraft for severalyears with the intent to develop futurecommercial and military STOL transport aircraft, according to Gene Callaghan of Business Development.

Two other Gulfstream studies are being directed by Bill Fehrs, director ofCommercial Aircraft Programs. JohnSwenk, Gulfstream Project, manages alift-fan VTOL (vertical take-off andlanding) G-II modification as a subcontractor to North American. Earlier thisyear, Stu Harvie of Senior Vice President Grant Hedrick’s engineering staff,and Charlie Coppi, GuUstream ProjectEngineering m a n a g e r, presented toNASA a program to design and build aG-II equipped with a super-criticalwing. Late last year, Grumman alsosubmitted a 90-passenger propellerSTOL transport design in response toAmerican Airlines’ request for a STOLtransport. Grumman was one of thewinners in this competition but subsequently withdrew to concentrate onthe ESTRA program.

Seeking new marketWinning the NASA Research Airplane

(ESTRA) program would be a majorstep forward in the development of acompetitive position in the light transport market. The primary competitionis expected to be the team of Lockheed/Bell Aerosystems, and McDonnell Douglas and Convair.

The proposal manager for Grumman isTry Watman of Advanced Aircraft Systems. Both Watman and AAS DirectorBill Tebo have .been making presentations to the NASA centers at Langley,Edwards, and Ames, as well as to theAir Force, for the past 18 months.

The Grumman-Boeing team’s proposalwill be based upon the Gulfstream Hairframe, modified to meet NASA’s requirements for a highly versatile STOLresearch aircraft. If Grumman wins acontract to build the aircraft, it will bebuilt in the new “experimental shop” toattain NASA’s research objectives at

minimum cost. Joe Cipp has recentlybeen appointed to establish a low-cost,quick-response experimental shop in theCompany for just such a program.

Boeing’s ESTRA proposal manager isHarry Higgins of their Commercial Aircraft group. Boeing’s previous and current STOL efforts include a boundary-layer-control equipped 707, an “augmentor wing” equipped de HavillandBuffalo aircraft, and a lift-fan versionof the Buffalo.

Plan long usageThe NASA procurement plan calls for

two steps: selection of two or more contractors for the design phase, and, following that, selection of one of the design phase contractors for the fabrication phase. The design phase is to becompleted no later than six monthsfrom the time of contract award (approximately June 1972).

The two aircraft will be used in aNASA flight research program intendedto provide the technological data and experience for developing “environmentally acceptable, economical, and safe”fan-jet STOL transport systems.

Civil Aeronautics Board studies showthat short-haul transports covering distances of 500 miles or less account forover 50 percent of all domestic passenger travel by air, according to Callaghan, and it is expected that these twoaircraft will remain in NASA inventoryfor the next 10 years to serve as thebase for investigation of new high-liftconcepts.

The Nassau County Civil Defense Office is seeking to establish a MarineUnit as part of its voluntary AuxiliaryPolice organization. To join the proposed new unit, applicants must havecompleted the basic CD Auxiliary Police course, completed a Coast Guardor Power Squadron course, and participated in the instruction course givenby the Nassau County Police MarineBureau.

Persons interested in joining the proposed new unit should write to Gen.Otho C. Van Exel, Nassau Civil DefenseDirector, at 140—15 Street, Mineola,L. I. Owning a boat is not a pre-requisite for joining the unit, but is desirable.Those who own boats should adviseCD headquarters what kind of boatthey own, what type of radio equipment they have, and where the boat isnormally located.

Civil Defense Auxiliary Police arevolunteers and members of local CivilDefense organizations who are trainedin police procedures by the NassauCounty Police Department.

Now, the wait...On August 27, Grumman submitted

to NASA a detaile9 proposal for a HighEnergy Astronomical Observatory. Thewinner of the HEAO C/D contract willbe able to proceed on January 15 withthe C/D (design and hardware) phasefor two spacecraft. Grumman’s strongcompetitor for this contract is TRW.

The plan for HEAO, providing Grumman is successful, is to run the Programas a centralized facility in Plant 5: engineering and program offices, vehiclecheckout and assembly. The OAO CleanRoom will be used for final assembly

GRUMMAN. September 13, 1971 5

Thinking about the future?...

Corporate Secretary

answers some questions

on Grumman Pension Plan

LR: You count them toward your vesting rightsand any other areas where years of service apply although there’s no contribution made during that five-year period.

Q: Could you give us a little information abouthow the Pension Fund is invested, and what the safeguards are?

LR: Originally and up until the end of Novemberof 1969, Bankers Trust Company was the sole investment manager of the trust fund. They had completediscretion with respect to the investing of the Fundat that time. In other words, no one at Grummanlooks over their shoulders and says buy this and sellthat. They did the whole thing.

At the end of November of 1969 the trust fundwas basically split into two pieces, with BankersTrust Company retaining approximately half andthe other half being turned over to John HancockMutual Life Insurance Company to manage. The JohnHancock manages it in exactly the same way as theBankers Trust Company manages their half. BothBankers Trust and John Hancock report to the Grumman Corporation and to the Employees Pension Board.

If you’re approaching retirement and your Grumman pension becomes a vital consideration, you maybegin to wonder how it has improved over the years,and how it provides for your future. Or if you’re notyet ready for retirement, perhaps you question whatyour vested rights may be right now, or what yourwife would get if you were to die before the age of 65.

Larry Rockwell, Secretary of the Grumman Corporation and a member of the Emp1o’ees PensionBoard, recently answered some questions from PlaneNews about the inner workings of the Grumman Pension Plan.

c ;;

__

Q. We read in the press every now and then aboutpension funds being misappropriated or badly managed. How old is the Gruman Pension Plan and whatsafeguards does it have?

LII: The Pension Plan was started effective January 1943. Every year since then, there have beencontributions made by the Company to the PensionPlan and the amount of those contribi.ttions each yearis based on an actuarial evaluation as of the end ofthe immediately prior year, which evaluation advisesthe rate of the contribution—that is, the percentageof covered payroll that should be contributed in thefollowing year in order to maintain a fully fundedposition.

Q: Does this change from time to time?

LII: This is changed from time to time dependingon changes in the Plan, the average age of membersof the Plan, and various other factors, such as increased payrolls. It is also affected by the mortalityof both active members and pensioners.

Q: At first, spouses weren’t included?

LR: That is correct.

Q: When they were included, did the Companyhave to contribute more money to the Fund?

LR: Well, not exactly. There are two areas wheresurviving spouses are concerned. Originally, the Pension Plan provided pensions only for the workersthemselves, without any joint and survivor option.When the joint and survivor options were put into thePlan, in 1954, this meant that an individual who wasretiring could elect either to take his full pension orhe could make provisions that, in the event of hisdeath, his surviving spouse would receive either apart of, or all of, his pension as long as she outlivedhim.

Now this was done in such a way that it does notcost the Company anything extra. The amount of reduction of his full pension to this lower amount toprovide for her was what is known as an “actuarialequivalent.” It means that the actuary was computed,that so much money is available. Now it can be paidout either over the lifetime of one person, or that sameamount of money can be paid out over the lifetime ofthe two people. But the same number of dollars onaverage are going to be paid out. What it does is toinsure the surviving spouse a retirement income evenafter the death of the pensioner.

Now the second thing that was done with respectto surviving spouses, in 1959, was a “surviving spousebenefit,” which concerns a person who has attainedthat age and length of service where he was entitledto retire, if he wanted to, but has not retired. If liedies, and has a surviving spouse, that surviving spousewill automatically receive a pension as if he had, infact, retired the first of the month of his death andhe had elected the optional benefit.

There has been money accumulated into the fundfor the man who has not died. Before we had this“surviving spouse benefit” the amount of money thathad been contributed for that person reverted to thetrust—and the effect of that was to reduce futurecontributions on the part of the Company.

If an employee dies and has not made the selection, it’s automatic. Now the surviving spouse gets it.But it does “cost” the Fund, because those moniesnow are going to be used.

Q: Then if a man dies after 20 years of service,his wife receives a pension, even though he hasn’tsigned up for it?

LII: As I said before, this is automatic. He doesnot have to sign up.

There’s another consideration. If his age and hislength of service when added together (his last birth-clay plus his last total number of years of service) addup to 75 and he dies, she automatically gets a pension. In addition to that, if a person is age 60 and hasbeen here at least five years (which is the waitingperiod), and dies, his wife vill also automaticallyreceive a pension.

Q: You have to be here five years before you canget a pension—but then you can count those years?

LII: No. They have absolutely no relationship, oneto the other. None whatever.

Q: Is that a safeguard of some kind?

LR: I think that the primary reason that the Boardof Directors voted to do this (and other companieshave done the same thing) is to have two differentmanagers, where you can get a little “horse race”going. Competition. Who’s going to do the better job?With competition presumably they’re both going todo better. Hopefully.

Q: flow is the Fund invested?

LII: The two halves of the Pension Fund are invested roughly from 65 to 70% in common stocks andthe remainder in fixed income investments.

Q: Does this go for both of them?

LII: Yes. It varies, you know; there’s no set percentage that they have to hold to.

Q: There have been newspaper reports of someworkers who belonged to company and union pensionfunds, yet when the company went out of business,there was nothing in the pension fund for them. Whatif Grumman were to go out of business tomorrow?What could pension members expect from the fund?

LII: We don’t anticipate any such thing. But if itdid happen, obviously there’s not going to be enoughmoney to pay everybody the pension that they wouldnormally receive if they worked to 65. I can tell youthat the Plan is fully funded, up-to-date and we don’towe anything to the Pension Fund.

Page 32 of the Pension Plan booklet says aboutdiscontinuance of the Plan, “the funds would be applied by the Employees Pension Board in such man-

ncr as it deems equitable for the benefit of the Pension Plan members, retired members, and other beneficiaries for whose benefit such funds are held, to theextent of the reserves held for each such individual.”

Q: Clint Tow!, Lou Willing, and you comprise the

Grumman Pension Board members. What do you do?

LR: The EPB is responsible for the administrationof the Pension Plan and for carrying out the rulesand regulations. It reports to the Board of Directorsand recommends changes in the Plan from time totime. It maintains records with respect to active andretired Plan members, and it certifies to BankersTrust the pensions to be paid. Also, we comply with

Federal I.R.S. regulations, and file an annual report

with the U.S. Department of Labor giving the finan

cial status of the Plan, number of people in the Plan,

the number of retired people, and so forth.

Q: Why don’t employees contribute to the pension?

LR: Originally it was set up in January 1943, in

the middle of World War II. At that time, manage

ment of the Company felt it would be better for the

Company to pick up the entire cost rather than have

some amount come out of the pay that the individuals

were receiving. And that general philosophy has held

current. Since 1965 we have had the Employee In

vestment Plan, which is a vehicle whereby people can

supplement their pensions if they wish, by contribu

ting to the Employee Investment Plan and having the

Company match in part their contributions.

The trend, incidentally, is away from employee

contributions in our type of plan. In Bankers Trust

Company studies, the percentage of plans that neither

require nor permit employee contributions has risen

from 45% (1956—59) to 50% (1960—65) to 56% in 1970.

So the trend is away from employee contribution in

the so-called conventional type of plan which ours is.

Q: Senator Jacob Javits has made news by calling

for reforms to protect pension funds from being mis

managed. He also champions the much-discussed

“vesting” of funds to insure old-age pension payments

to those who transfer to another company or become

unemployed.

LR: Senator Javits wants every pension plan to

provide for 10% vesting after six years of service

and another 10% each year thereafter until full vest

ing occurs at 15 years. Now Grumman in January

1970 went to full vesting after 10 years, so we thinkour plan is better than the Senator’s proposal. Underthe vesting after 10 years of service, payments commence when the person becomes 65 years of age.

LR: We’ve asked the individual who has left theCompany with 10 or more years of service to keepJohn mcc’s Insurance, Records & Benefits Departmentadvised of his location. And to communicate. To keepcurrent. Now, again, we’ll have to cross the bridgewhen we get to it. We’ve never come to the point yet.But presumably if he keeps his address current, whoever is sitting in John’s seat in the year whenever itis, 1995, say, why that person will start to receive hispension.

If he should die without attaining the age 65, thenthere’ll be nothing paid at all.

Q: If someone were drawing a pension say, next

month, would he be getting cost-of-living adjustmentbuilt into it?

LR: No, you start off with whatever your pension

is. Then, on April 1 of each following year, a cost-of-

living adjustment is made—provided the Consumer

Price Index has changed during the preceding year.The maximum adjustment is 3%.

Q: Will you explain the latest changes in earlyretirement options?

Q: Is it true that your pension goes up appreciablywhen you get to be 64 as compared to taking it at,say, 60?

LR: There’s a rough rule of thumb: the pensiondoubles every five years up until—well, from 50 to60. From 60 to 65, assuming continued work, it goesup about 50%.

Q: Do you foresee any changes in the Plan?

LR: As you can see, the Pension Plan has improvedquite a bit since it was first established in 1943, especially in the last couple of years with better earlyretirement benefits, cost-of-living increases, and vesting. Last year the Company contributed about $18’/2million to the Plan. As far as future changes? TheBoard of Directors periodically reviews the Plan todetermine how well it serves Grumman people, butI’m sure you can understand that future changes tothe Plan have to be evaluated not only on their bene

ficial effect on Plan members but on the Corpora

tion’s ability to pay for the changes as well.

(For answers to questions on early retirement options, eligibility, or other aspects, refer to the blue-covered Pension Plan booklet dated February 1971.For assistance on a personal basis, call Joe Placenza,Employees Pension Board staff representative, onExt. 9179, Plant 28.)

“They really work, don’t they!”Laconic—and accurate—is that state

ment by Joe Chernes of Department 099,

Plant 5. The same sort of sentiments hadbeen voiced earlier by Artie Jackson,Hydraulics, Plant 2. Both men escapedtragedy by listening to the voice ofreason: In hazardous areas, wear safety

ing machine a couple of months ago and,

as he says, “Nobody had to tell me towear safety glasses, though there were

signs all over about wearing ‘em. I just

put ‘em on.”It was good that he did. A piece of

the cutter broke off and ZZZZIP! Theright lens of his safety glasses wassmashed, yet hung together in one shattered piece.

“It was a small bit of metal, but ithit so hard! I didn’t know what happened at first,” said Artie.

In Joe’s case, his job was to meltsolder splices with a heat gun in orderto reclaim some 20-gage wire. It wasn’tlong before some solder splattered andstruck the left lens of his safety glasses.Fortunately, that’s all that happened:Everything hit the glasses. Like Artie,the glasses saved his sight.

That’s happened to three other peopleso far this year. Last year, there were10 eye-saving incidents.

These two Wise Owls came eyeballto eyeball to personal disaster. Thinkabout it . . . Is there any valid reasonfor not wearing safety glasses in eye-hazard areas?

LR: In January of 1971 the Board adopted changeswhich provided higher pensions for those people whoretire between the ages of 60 and 65. As Clint Towlsaid in his announcement last January, “Now we feelwe have made early retirement more attractive, andpractical, for those with a desire or need, because ofhealth or other personal reasons, to take advantageof this.” It means higher pensions, too, for those whomight want to retire between the ages of 50 and 60with 20 years of service.

The computerized “Benefacts” folder mailed annually, in late fall, to each Grumman employee givesan up-to-date, individual report on pension and onother benefits.

Q: If people leave the Company and have vestedpension rights, how do you keep track of them?

GRUMMAN, September 13, 1971 7

Soul Brothers Plus pop Boppers for Wyandanch crownThough they were stung 4-3 in the

opener of the championship seriesagainst the Boppers at Wyandanch, theSoul Brothers Plus proved that their15-1-1 record in regular season playwas no fluke by sweeping the next threegames for the Plant 27 championship.

Bruce Driver, Herb Miller, RayLavelle, and Frank Carter got theBrothers off winging in the first gamewith a 3-0 lead. But in the bottom ofthe fifth, the Boppers came back to tiethe game on clutch hitting of WaltMatuza, Hal Corley, Walt Blazejewski,and George Mancuso. And then, thatsuperior season record didn’t mean verymuch. With Boppers on first and second,Mancuso hit a soft liner to right, andon the wild throw-in to third, the winning run scored, giving the Boppers thefirst game, 4-3.

With Vin Frazitta on the mound inthe second game, the Brothers put it alltogether as Carter poked a homer,double, and single to even up the seriesfor manager Sherm Jacobs, 8-2. It wasmore of the same in the third game asRudy Reid, Don Seagraves, Jim Martin, and Tony Alaimo paced a devastating attack in the Brothers’ 11-2 victory.

In the fourth game, Frazitta doled outbut four hits in a 3-0 triumph. VicRumore’s double drove home two ofthose runs, with the win assuring theBrothers Plus the championship series,three games to one, and the slow-pitchtitle at Wyandanch.

Same old storyIt was the same old story at Plant 1.

The Oldtimers seemingly go on and onand on. This time they put the arm

on the Invaders, 9-1 and 11-5 in three-way playoff for the second-half championship at Plant 1. Who won the firsthalf? Who else?

Art Frasca, Frank Jagiello, and JoeDe5anto socked three hits apiece to pacethe 11.-S win, while back-to-hack homersby Frasca and Jagiello, and three hitsby Ken Smith, clinched the 9-1 victory.The Oldtimers and Misfits are scheduledto hook up in a duel for the Plant 1title.

What a difference a year can make!Ask the Cincinnati Reds. But for theSide Lobes of the Wednesday Nationalloop, the ending was a lot happier. In1970, the Side Lobes finished next-to-last. This year they finished atop the

Lobes dumped Willy’s Warriors, 7-4, asJoe Vosefski, Bob Savasta, Walt Grote,and Dan Avery socked two hits apiece,with Vosefski’s total including a homer.Earlier, the Lobes socked the Tom Cats11-7. Manager Bob Savasta and JoeNieves cracked homers in that tilt, offsetting similar shots by Tom Quarto andDom Bello of the Cats. . . . The SloePokes finished in second spot with a 7-5record, including a 10-4 win over theVikings. Trailing 4-2, the Pokes had aman on second when the Vikings decided to set up a force play by walking EdMontanez. You guessed it—Bob Clarkpoked a triple and the Sloe Pokes wereoff on an eight-run binge. Earlier, BobVerzera hit one for the Pokes.

Sig Robinson’s three-hit shutout—histeam got a couple of hits in an 18-0rout of the Egg Beaters—kept his teamin contention for a playoff berth in theWednesday American circuit. Unloadingon the Egg Beaters were Jerry Dieterich,Jim Eckert, and Hal Roth. Dieterichsmacked four hits, including two homers, Eckert went 4 for 6, including around tripper, and Roth collected fourhits, too.

In other American league tilts, the TacJammers couldn’t get untangled as theDigits took a 10-3 game with help fromBob Schmidt and Sal laccarino, who hithomers. It was the 11th straight win forthe league-leading Digits. . . . The TacJammers had better luck in an earliergame agaisnt the CBA Stars. MartyMartinez crashed two doubles and atriple, and John Kennedy tripled as theJammers cemented their second-placespot on an 8-2 record. . . . The Digitsturned out the lights on the CBA Stars

during a 25-4 romp as Jim Casey (2),Gene Lowe (2), Charlie McLaughlin,laccarino, and Bob Emberton all crashedhomers. Ouch!

In the Tuesday National loop, the Titans chalked up their ninth straight win,a 9-8 squeaker over the Druids, to finishatop the standings with a 10-2 record.Gordon Bell’s homer paced the victoryover the Druids, while homers by LarryHill and Bob Verzera in an earlier 22-16marathon over the Mohawks were supplemented by heavy sticking of MickeyRowles, Lou Cotignola, and Jack Ferrante.

Perfect recordIt’s ail over in the Tuesday American

circuit. Simulation took the regularleague chase with a perfect 11-0 record,the last win coming against the DigitalDynamos, 14-1. In that rout, GlennSpacht and John Slonaker socked homers, while Paul Baritz, Art Frasca, andCharlie McLaughlin contributed threehits each. . . . The Woodpeckers tooksecond place in the loop with an 8-3mark, insuring that position with 11-7and 9-1 wins over the Mets and Dacs,respectively. Lou Carpione’s grand slamhighlighted the 11-7 victory.

There was some solace for the Rangers in the Thursday after-hours loop—they stopped the Shadows 12-10 in thefinal game of the season to hang on tothird place, and then came back tosmack the second-place Hustlers 7-2 inthe first game of the championship playoffs. Against the Shadows, Jim Caseyled the hit parade with four singles,while team mates Bill Diercks and PeteVitteritti had three apiece. Mike Gabriel paced the Shadows.

Soccer startIt’s boot time!

On the 26th, at 12:30 p.m., theGrumman Reserve soccer squadwill be at Plant 3 field to kick offthe new season. Two hours later,Grumman’s first-line team will betangling at the same field.

The squads will be matchedagainst Rocklyn’s reserve and firsttine teams respectively. The season ends in May.

In July, the Grumman Gopher Rifleteam was well represented at the Connecticut State Small Bore Rifle Position Regional Match held in Walling-ford. Joe Moks took third place, MasterClass in off-hand position; Hank Wom—ble, third place, Master Class in proneposition; Joe Anckner, second place, Expert Class, prone position; and WarrenBlock, second place, Sharpshooter Class,sitting position.

As good as the Gophers are, they’reeager to get new members (women,too!) who might be even better. Don’tworry if you’ve never held a gun before. Experts on the team train you in

the care and use of a target rifle. Then

it’s up to you. The team meets once

South Shore leagues.

It was the night before HurricaneDoria blew into town that about 30members of the Women’s Golf Leaguegot together for cocktails, a buffet dinner, and an awards presentation. Asthough in deference to the ladies, Doriaheld off long enough to assure a surprising break in the weather—it hadbeen pouring most of the day—so thatfestivities could proceed as planned.

And retired Senior Vice PresidentGeorge Titterton was on hand to providehumorous anecdotes and serve as informal master of ceremonies—the girlshave been asking him back since he firstattended about four years ago—while,with Mike Cherry of GAA, presentingtrophies to the prize winners. It was afun affair.

Myers finished with 37 (two over par)at Dix Hills, then came right back thefollowing week with 38 to lead the fieldin scoring. Other highlights were JohnKempey’s 43, Bill Mullin’s 44, and JoeSherry’s 44. Myers turned in threebirdies during the two rounds: on thepar-4, 305-yard third hole, the par—4,325-yard sixth hole, and the par—4, 280-yard seventh. Bob Halloran scored abird on the par-4 fifth, and Kempey collected one on the third hole.

Carmine Vitale slipped to a 43 thesecond time he played the first nineholes of the Green course at BetlipageState Park (he carded 40 earlier in theseason) but it was still good enough totake Runamuck scoring honors.

Bowling season underwayMore than 300 teams in 26 GAA-sanctioned bowling leagues rolled into

a new pin season last week. There will be action every day of the week (except Sunday) in the GAA loops, with Tuesday proving the most popular—nine leagues swing into play each week on that day from Syosset to Patcliogue.

Although the following list of bowling leagues has been supplied by theAthletic Association, some of the loops are not completely staffed with bowlers.

GRUMMAN, September 13, 1971 11

Ecosystems team finds top of the world ‘awe inspiring r

“The sun shone all the time we werethere, around the clock. We lost trackof which was day and which was night,”said Bill King of Grumman EcosystemsCorporation. “In Thule you knew it wasmorning when they served bacon andeggs. We had to cover the windows tohelp us go to sleep.”

Grumman Ecosystems took its Gulf-stream I to the top of the world recently to make an extensive magnetometer and photographic survey of thenorthern rim of Danish-owned Greenland. They were under a contract to agroup of Canadian, American, and Danish businessmen, the Greenarctic Consortium, who are interested in the oiland mineral potential of Greenland.Ecosystems’ bases of operation were theU.S. Air Force base at Thule, late Mayto early July; Station Nord, July; Thuleagain in early August—the whole timewell above the Arctic Circle.

“We accomplished what we set outto do, and we got all the data that wasrequested,” reported Tom Attridge, VicePresident of Ecosystems. “The data isbeing interpreted now, in Plant 4, andour report is due in November.”

“It was a successful project and acredit to the men who performed it, aswell as to all the Grumman Companies.The Gulistream I is a helluva good airplane—we had only minor problems,”said Bill Schwendler Jr., Executive VicePresident of Grumman Ecosystems. “Itflew about 50,000 data miles and put inabout 500 hours of mapping time. Thatplane covered over 100,000 nauticalmiles. It’s now undergoing a generalrework in Plant 4, preparing for its nextjob.

“We hope to be back to Greenlandnext summer doing work for the Consortium—and possibly for the Danish

Government,” Scliwendler added.The Ecosystems’ Greenland survey

covered three months, and 11 men wentfrom Bethpage. Their gear and suppliesfilled up the Gulfstream I, so a Gulf—stream II went along to carry most ofthe staff. One of the logistics problemswas that they had to supply their ownfuel for operations out of Station Nord.The fuel—55,000 gallons of it—was de—livered from Tromso, Norway, in drums.At Station Nord, 1,000 miles north ofthe Arctic Circle and often called the Topof the World, Ecosystems personnel hadto transfer the fuel from the drums tostorage tanks, then into the airplane.

A glance at a world globe showsThule almost due north of Long Island,a five-hour flight by Gulfstream II fromBetlipage. The survey covered parts ofthe east, north, and west coastal areas ofGreenland.

‘Awe inspiring’“The country was awe inspiring,”

Walter Berndt said. “There were snow-storms and heavy winds in June. Theonly vegetation was a little plant called arctic cotton and some little red flowers. fl’s very stark. In May the groundwas snow covered. Later, after the snowmelted, most of the landscape wasbrown.”

Joe Martinez’ comment was, “The 30to 45 degree arctic summer didn’t causediscomfort. But, with the west windwhipping in off the bay on one sideof your face and the sun shining brightly on the other, you really knew youweren’t at home.”

At Sondre Stromfjord Air Base 600miles south of Thule, “mosquitos werevery big” in the 50-degree heat.

Food? Good at Thule, lots of it atNord, including some Danish special-

ties. “We gained some weight at Thuleand even more at Nord,” said one.

The Ecosystems staff included “Red”Hafter, program manager, and Bob Pate,chief of data reduction. On site the fulltime were Walter Berndt, chief pilot andon-site manager; Mike Tenzyk, pilot;Hal Smith, co-pilot on loan from Aerospace; Bill King, plane captain; BuckyWeaver, assistant plane captain on loanfrom Aerospace; Joe Martinez, photog

New assignments often go with promising developmens in the Grummanbusiness outlook. Joe Cipp, for example,has been named to Vice President TomJohnson’s staff, and among his dutieswill be the establishment, within theProduct Manufacturing Department, ofa low-cost, quick-response capability forprototype, mockup, or “one of a kind”articles. The STOL Gulfstream, ifGrumman gets a go-ahead, would beone of these. Cipp is in Plant 2 on Ext.2572.

Bob Muflaney, formerly F-14 manager of Operations, is now special assistant to John O’Brien, AdministrativeVice President. Mullaney is in Plant 5and can be reached on Ext. 3307.

In Manufacturing Engineering, PaulKanzler is now manager of Tooling &Methods, Plant 2, Ext. 3548. He wasformerly deputy director of Materials& Process Engineering. And GeorgeTiber, previously deputy director ofProduction, has been named managerof Tool Fabrication. He is also in Plant2, on Ext. 1947.

Artie August is the new director ofAdvanced Development, Plant 5, Ext.

rapher; Stanley Pokora and Jim North,magnetometer operators; Glen Bach,ground data analyst; and two non-employees under contract to Ecosystems.

While this group was away, Attridgereports, ground personnel at Plant 4completed analysis of the data collected last spring for the New York Corpsof Engineers on harbor pollution andthat is being reviewed by the Corps atthe present time.

9774, succeeding Bob Bower, who hasmoved to NASA-Langley Research Center as director of Aeronautics. WaltLudwig is appointed manager of Space-p 1 a n e-associated Advanced Development activities. He is in Plant 25, Ext.7040, and lie reports to August.

Establish new boardA Facilities Operations Review Board,

formed to review all formal requestsfor services from the Facilities Engineering & Maintenance organizations, hasbeen established with these members:

Tom Cunniffe, Facilities Engineering;John McNamara, Facilities Maintenance;Ray Nightingale, Operations Planning &Budgets; George Bilzi, Accounting; AlMead, Fixed Assets Committee; BillSteenson, Resources Staff. They reportto John O’Brien, Administrative VicePresident.

Joe DiGiacomo has been named manager of Accounting for Grumman DataSystems. He is responsible for implementation of accounting policies andpractices and the maintenance of all accounting costing records. His extensionis 1964.
